Until an hour ago he wasn't my first choice for this pick.. Then realised Hadlee, Hasan, Botham, Kallis was 4 great all rounders already gone. Wasn't allowed to select Sobers and knew Imran may not have made my next pick.

 

[Plugger35]

I may as well pick the last remaining great all rounder from the 1980s with Richard Hadlee, Ian Botham and Imran Khan taken.

debuted in tests in 78

i thought we were doing from when they debuted?

I am doing it that way, but I did specify you could specify which decade you wanted. In the end it's going to ensure that you hit every decade anyway.

with these sort of arbitrary rules interpretation, are you andrew dillon or laura kane?!??

 

[Lingsface]

70s, surely?

That would mean if he played over 6 years of test cricket majority would be in the 80's ? I don't mind either way though.

[boncer34]

Well I call foul Purple7x08_24. I'm assuming since tagging me was the edit you made to your post since I didn't get a notification yesterday and now I've missed a player I wanted.

 

[boncer34]

I'll take Jimmy Anderson instead I guess.

2010's
